Those who neither walk like a Ninja Nor Quack like a Ninja are no Ninja even though their name be Ninja

More troubling news reaches our ears from Zimbabwe.
The nation’s economic situation is dire and many citizens are close to revolt.
One group that has been taking part in or will soon take part in the suppression of demonstrations is a black clad paramilitary Goon Squad called "The Ninjas".
At least 500 and up to 3000 Ninja warriors have been deployed from Angola into neighboring Zimbabwean territory. According to Jan Raath, the Times corespondent in Harare their reputation is not to be admired,

They patrol in pickup trucks, with mounted heavy machine-guns, and are notorious for their violence. "Angolans are terrified of them," an Angolan resident said.

These Ninja will reinforce President Mugabe’s own over stretched riot control forces. These thugs have been breaking up meetings, evicting residents of seized property and generally beating up opponents of President Mugagbe.
One thing that has always impressed me about Ninja is their code of ethics.
Among some Ninja clans they maybe more of a series of loose guidelines rather than a rigid code, but still they separate a wannabe Ninja from a true Ninja. They separate a fighter from a goon, a killer from an animal, maybe even a killer from a murderer.
Part of the Ninja style is that they were always the little people, the one that everybody ignored, peasants or lower caste laborers. You past them in the street everyday, they are around you all the time. They are the people doing the myriad little tasks that make things work. The difference between a Ninja and a everyday Joe is that they were they one who sharpened up their sickles, stole out at night and fought back against the man.
Any Ninja participation in the suppression of the common people must be considered a violation of this code. The Ninja have their bare hands, a few simple work a-day tools, sticks, rope maybe some small knives. It’s the Lords and Masters who come smashing down on the houses of the common folk with eviction orders and the Bailiffs.You don’t send a hundred Ninja to break up a political rally and bust some heads, any pack of Meatheads with a cudgels can do that. Ninja are silent and invisible, even if you detect them you, it will be after they are gone. A Ninja would carefully and cleanly dispose of the leaders of a rebellious organization and leave the others alive.
The actions of these so called Ninjas are a disgrace, not only to their fellow citizens but to all true Ninja.
They are the exact opposite of all that Ninja stand, fight, climb and sneak around for.
They are the Anti Ninja.
I therefore call on all like minded citizen, Type1 Humanoids and friends of Ninja-kind every were to support my petition to the Grandmasters of High Council of Shadows to have the Zimbabwean Ninja suspended from the commonwealth of Ninjas and their names struck from the Ninja roll.
Petition forms and Proxy Voting ballots will be distributed in the usual manner.
